To remove services that installed by cygrunsrv install it again:
I have received a computer with some software already installed and I have to clean it up. One of those software is cygwin, I tried to follow the instructions but without success.
1. I can't locate the cygrunsrv: there is no file with this name and there is no command in the bash shell with this name! I have also checked the windows services but I can't find any of the mentioned services: sshd, cron, cygserver, inetd, apache, postgresql, etc
cmd# cygrunsrv -L # to list installed services ... cmd# cygrunsrv -R sshd # to individually remove each installed service
2. I can't delete the cygwin folder because I receive the "Permission Denied" error, although I have marked all the files as not read only and changed the ownership to my account.This can happen because some process have open handles to this directory.
Can somebody help me out?
